I just got it to 5* seems a decent jump in power from 4* but haven’t seen it other than a very soft 4* version. Worth persevering with other than for platoons?

It's not good to keep in your arena lineup because of it's poor defensive properties, but it has it's uses.https://i.imgur.com/ClupX8I.gif

I lost time ago against a mace fleet cuz falcon xD 2 times! Then i realiced i had to kill falcon first, just 2 hits... But if u leave falcon alone it can be dangerous xDSeems not so good on def cuz its really squisi... But its a ship above the average, just few people with it starred enough so u can rarely see it in the fleet arena... But once ppl start getting it to 7* i think we will se it more often!

I run it in my fleet at 4* and can take 1-3 every day and hold in top 20 overnight.I run something similar to the GIF posted above, but to make up for punching lower than a maxed out ship I put Scimitar in there.Chimaera:Biggs, TFP, Scimitar, Kylo shuttle, FalconYou want a target lock first up with TFP so Biggs can be the punching bag.Thrawn to buff with offense up.Maul to pop stealth taunt on Biggs or TFP if Biggs is dead already.Falcon to do thrust reversal.Kylo to give Falcon advantage and 100%.BOOM. Match over in 2 turns. What Falcon doesn't kill the norma Thrawn AoE finishes off normally.Even if RNG is against me I and I can't execute the strategy above I can still win because of my maxed Thrawn kill-all and my reserves (Boba, Fives, FOTP).

I've finally placed 1st 2 times this week, but their FO Tie will go before mine most of the time. Maybe 1 in 6 matches, defense FO Tie will one shot my FO Tie. When I ran falcon, enemy ai really focused it down fast, so I gave up on it.This is very odd. How is the enemy FO tie one shotting your FO tie? I run FO tie and I can't one shot my opponent's FO tie...not even close.

Anyone run the falcon in ship arena?

have you just estimated when you will reach the 7 stars for this ship on only 1 hard Node ?
Just count and decide afterward :p You still need 185 shards it should be around 5 months

In theory yes. But unless you defeat someone or damage them enough to get them down to yellow. Thrawn will use his aoe, before your next turn so you will be down one.

I bring it out of reinforcements when I still have Biggs alive, then get 3 attacks and crit damage up, almost always.

There are literallly only two thrawn teams on my shard that I have trouble with, prob not something I’m going to try as it’s not broken etc. Maybe worthwhile for guild v guild as a defense fleet.

Just curious :)

I have Falcon at 6*, Finn and Rey and G12. I think I noticed a difference when I went from 5* to 6* in regards to survivability...

I've got it close to 6*. Finn and Rey aren't maxed g10/g9 range. It rarely, if ever, gets to do anything of real value in the match. There are many other options that provide a MUCH greater benefit as a reinforcement and if on your starting lineup, will be gone before you ever get to activate it. Sometimes you win the coin flip and your FOTP goes first and gets the tl. Even then, it gets one attack.

That being said.....it can be handy in TW for your 3rd or 4th fleet. Or useful in LS TB.

^I made a similar joke but it wasn't obvious like that one and someone (not saying who ;)) changed the meaning.

That one was better anyway though.
